This is an incorrect configuration on the bulk build machine. At least
the former of these packages is widely used by a number of users (myself
included), and there are no PRs open to correspond to it's alleged
unbuildability.
As I do not perform bulk builds myself, I am not in a position to
hand-hold the configuration of the bulk build system to make sure
that it keep up with the constantly-shifting array of configuration
variables for the building of java packages. Someone who _is_
performing bulk builds should do so.
If this package is removed, it will be recommitted.

This has been supplanted by tomcat and ap-jk, and can be safely removed.

Feel free to remove ap-jserv, if I don't get there first.
jdbc-postgresql works fine for our users, and should not be removed.
